For the first time in eight years I'm filing my taxes as someone working and living outside of the city of Cleveland - this is weird to me. But while I plan on working for Hyland Software in Westlake for many years to come, here's to hoping I'll be going back to living in Cleveland proper very soon.
Doing taxes while living and working in different cities confuses me... who exactly is RITA again? Thank god for my accountant.
But that's not the point of this post.
I'd like to go on record and say that I'm enjoying my social time in Westlake and am happy to report that gems like the Whistlestop and Dover Gardens are fabulous options to explore.
Friday night Hyland hosted their 10th annual Texas Hold 'em Tourney, so a group of friends/coworkers naturally headed to the Whistlestop to prepare. Many of us didn't play the main hold 'em event but instead ate a lot of delicious food and competed in the side casino games. It was CK's first Hyland outing and I'd like to say it was a success. I mean, how could you not love Hylanders?

Colleen, Alana and I at Dover Gardens + CK bringing down the karaoke house + Alana and I laughing at CK + I don't even know what's going on in this picture....
Friday night was AWESOME. So many laughs.
Saturday CK and I had a wonderful lunch at Deagan's Kitchen & Bar and knocked out a good handful of our wedding to-do list, e.g., his wedding band and a bling-tastic special flower girl gift for the kiddo from Kleinhenz Jewelers.
I'd say it feels great to get wedding stuff completed, if only the list of things we still have to do was getting smaller...
All in all it was a wonderful weekend filled with fun and productivity, which (in my humble opinion) is the way all weekends should be.
Happy Tuesday, kids!
p.s. I'm getting married two months from yesterday, YAY!
